Credit cards - what was the debt for?

Hello me again :o

I'm listing my unsecured creditos on the forms - some of them are credit cards, so under 'What was the debt for?' - what do I put?

I've put general essential living expenses on two but is this ok? What did anyone else put?

Thanks in advance.

Mc x

    Hi
    I put all sorts of things but they were all linked to living expenses. I put clothes,food ect just so that it did not look like the same answer for all 7cc.:o
    Just a point that may be worth mentioning to you.
    Section 4 asks for unsecured creditors. On this you list cc debts ect.
    Section 5 asks about bank accounts and credit card,s you have to repeat what you wrote in section 4 if any where credit cards. Hope that bit was useful;) Dalip

    On my credit cards I put general living expenses and on my loan I put consolidation.
    Was fine for going bankrupt but haven't had my OR interview yet so don't know if it'll be questioned then.

    I put living expenses & consolidation for most things - I could only list actual reasons for 2 debts. I've not had any comeback.
